So Mr. President, on behalf of three quarters
of a million volunteer firefighters across this
nation, we want to present you with this helmet.
And you know, these are people, these are citizens
who respond from their homes at night.
They respond from their businesses during the day
to protect their neighbors when their neighbors need help the most
I have my wife with me here
today too, because our families mean a lot to us.
They are the ones that support us at every step
of the way so while this helmet protects us in a fire
or a wreck we want it to protect you we want
God to wrap His protective arm around you
and use this helmet remember that we want you to be
protected by our Lord thank you sir thank you
thank you you know as he's talking i said i could
have used this in Butler this would have
been very helpful i mean i wish you gave it to me a little
bit earlier. Anyway, thank you very much.
That's beautiful. Appreciate it. Thank you.
So, ladies and gentlemen, have a good time.
We're being served food from the combination of the
White House and the military people that do such
a great job. You'll love what you're having.
It's an honor to have you here.
Maybe we should play a little music. You don't have to talk to
each other so much. Some of you don't like each other.
Some of you are at very uncomfortable
tables. And some of you are loving each other.
But I think there's a lot of love in this group.
There's all love. I can tell you there's
all love coming from this direction.
So I just want to thank you for the great job.
Every one of you, you're a hero and you do a great job.
And we have a special coin that we're going
to hand out to everybody here.
Everybody wants that coin more than anything else.
They have a choice of the coin or meeting Trump.
They say, we'll take the coin, please. Every everybody wants.
So if they would, they're going to hand them out to you right now.
Thank you all for coming. A tremendous honor.
Thank you.
